A little gem in a big way! Everything we ate was cooked to perfection. For those liking adventure, five of the seven courses were dishes we wouldn’t attempt ourselves. The team made us feel like we were special guests in their home . Chef Pierre and his team make French dining very accessible. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Amazing cuisine, but the service did not come near to matching the quality of the restaurant. Particular attention was paid by the wait staff to select tables, and the remainder of the restaurant was largely neglected. Small things such as refilling water glasses were not done throughout the night. Chef Calmels came out to personally and sincerely thank each diner for spending the night with him at his restaurant, however the same gratitude was unfortunately otherwise noticeably absent.

Amazing culinary experience and very personalized. Chef Pierre Calmels visited each table at the end of their meal to speak with every patron. Wonderful and exotic food rolls out with perfect pacing in the seven-plus servings (extra unique offerings are often added to the dinner). BYOB is a plus. This is an exceptional dining experience and the pricing reflects that.

One of the best meals we have ever had and certainly one of the best restaurants in Philly. The foie gras was probably the best foie gras we have ever had. The magret de canard and soup de salsifis were also amazing. The tarentaise aligot was one of the most unique dishes we have ever ate. Dessert was also top notch with hot chocolate souffle. The only down side was we paid an extra $25 per plate for truffles on the magret de canard and soup de salsifis ($100) which honestly we do not think added $100 worth of flavor. We would definitely recommend even with the steep price because it will be one of the best meals you will ever eat, just skip the truffles.

The attention to detail in this lovely French restaurant evolved into an exquisite experience dish by dish.. it is all so subtle yet complex that you want to savor each bite. Yet it is hard to imagine that they change their menu every night!! Makes me want to return weekly to see what new creations are being served, though the price of this price fixe dining experience and the richness of the food wood suggest maybe a bit less frequently would be prudent.But lived it

A mouthwatering delight from start to finish. Chef puts the menu up to view on restaurant website prior for the week plus suggested wine pairing - make sure you look in advance as this really helps to make an extraordinary experience unreal!The soufflé was so light that it tasted like we were eating sweet air and the grilled swordfish belly melts in your mouth! Worth every penny !

Bibou remains a shining star in the Philly restaurant scene, and still gets my vote as the best restaurant in the Delaware Valley. Great food and attentive service, with Chef Calmel's passion coming through in every bite. Just wish it was closer to my home!
